Ex-NFL star Brian Holloway may
be sued by parents of teens who
allegedly trashed his upstate NY
home

Brian Holloway says he's been
threatened for going public with the
names of teens he believes trashed
his upstate N.Y. home.
If Brian Holloway thought the hundreds of
teenagers who destroyed his home were
ruthless, wait until their families are
through with him.
Several parents are reportedly considering
lawsuits against the former NFL star after
he posted their children's names on a
website created in the wake of the Labor
Day weekend house party.
The website, www.helpmesave300.com,
identifies over 100 of the estimated 300
house-crashers who trashed his upstate
New York residence, and includes photos
and tweets that documented the reckless
destruction.
But rather than apologize to Holloway for
their children's behavior, some parents have
contacted their lawyers to see what legal
action they can take against the former
Patriots and Raiders offensive lineman, local
affiliate ABC News 10 reported .
Holloway estimates the damage of his
house to be in the $20,000 range.
"Parents have threatened me," Holloway, a
three-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl XX
veteran, told ABC News. "Your kids are in
my house breaking and stealing my stuff
and you are mad at me because I posted
pictures that they took and posted
themselves of them partying and tearing
things up?"
Even more troubling for Holloway is the fact
that he offered parents the chance to make
amends for the estimated $20,000 in
damage caused to his house, including
smashed windows and glass doors, urinated
carpets, holes in the ceilings, as well as a
stolen eagle statue that was part of a
memorial for his stillborn grandson.
The former grid iron star is holding a picnic
for veterans at the home on Saturday, and
invited the rowdy teens and their parents to
help him clean the house.
"Come out and help set up, fix up, bring
food, and picnic stuff, so we can honor these
real HEROS," he wrote on his website. "I'm
here. Come now. Take a stand for your
future. This is called redemption."
Twitter
Partygoers post plenty of pictures
from Holloway's house on social
media.
Holloway told CNN Friday he was coming to
the situation as a father, not a punishing
former offensive lineman.

TEENS
"There are 300 lives at stake," Holloway said
on the show "New Day." "I don't want to be
standing over one of these kids' caskets 30
years from now."
The invitation fell on deaf ears."""........
